13. This rather large variation in the measured pitch of these tapes appears to be the result of them undergoing distortion during drying and imaging on the TEM grid.
14. 11-II tapes are 1.94 ± 0.08 and 1.9 ± 0.1, respectively. Full sets of atomic coordinates for the simulated tapes and ribbons are available upon request from the authors.

20. This was estimated in a simulated solvent dielectric for both ribbon structures by calculating the difference between the heats of formation of the ribbon and the heat of formation of the two tape-like faces within the ribbon when placed at infinite separation.
